My book may vanish.
There is a lot of uncertainty with Night Publishing at the moment. It is possible that instead of Night publishing the sequel, 'The King's Favourite,' 'Not a Man' may vanish from Amazon.
It is only 99c right now as an ebook, so if you want it, grab it now.
Meantime, I'm copying and pasting the reviews, which will no doubt vanish if the book does, even it does get re-published by someone else.

About my book.
I don't actually like the pitch as shown for my book. It is too vague, and I don't agree that my writing is at all like a 'whispered prayer.' My book is the story of a boy who was made a eunuch. Shuki is a boy who has cunning and even a ruthlessness when required. He is far more than a mere victim.
'Not a Man' won a place on the 'Editor's Desk' on Authonomy, and was reviewed by a Harper Collins editor. This is an excerpt. "Shuki’s journey is one of great trial but also incredible strength, courage, and determination, and as a hero, he is fantastic, evoking not only sympathy, but aspiration and reverence. I loved the fact that the operation which is supposed to prevent him from reaching manhood is the very thing that makes him strong and mature. The novel is written in a pared down manner; the narrative reminded me of the prose styling of Paulo Coelho: unaffected and matter-of-fact."
I would like you to share in Shuki's journey.
